The sum of all electromagnetic forces between different particles of a system of charged particles is zero:
  1. Only if all the particles are positively charged.
  2. Only if all the particles are negatively charged.
  3. Only if half the particles are positively charged and half are negatively charged.
  4. Irrespective of the signs of the charges.

The force with which the earth attracts an object is called the weight of the object. Calculate the weight of the moon from the following data: The universal constant of gravitation $G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}N-m^2/kg^2$, mass of the moon $= 7.36 \times 10^{22}kg$, mass of the earth $= 6 \times 10^{24}kg$ and the distance between the earth and the moon $= 3.8 \times 10^5\ km.$

The average separation between the proton and the electron in a hydrogen atom in ground state is $5.3 \times 10^{-11} m.$
  1. Calculate the Coulomb force between them at this separation.
  2. When the atom goes into its first excited state the average separation between the proton and the electron increases to four times its value in the ground state. What is the Coulomb force in this state?
